You could use a 3(if they make them) or 4 way distribution block.
Use something big, maybe 0 guage from the battery to the distribution block and then use something like 2 or 4 for the 1000 watt amps and using 8 on the smaller amp should be fine.
What subs are you running where you need 1000 watts a piece? I hope you plan on running a larger (much larger) alternator, bc thats a lot of power to be drawing.

something like that. 4 way refers to the amount of outputs it has.

Yes they do make 3 way distro blocks, they are often called a "T" block.
FYI :)

Not Really The Cap Wont Do Much You Should Just Us Save The Money To Get A New Alternator I Suggest Execessive Amperage Alternator
